Yellow Wave New Zealand Flax
Phormium ‘Yellow Wave’
Yellow Wave New Zealand Flax is a graceful, medium-sized cultivar with soft, arching foliage that brings a gentle, luminous touch to the garden. Its leaves are a soft, buttery yellow with a distinct, wide green margin. The overall effect is one of elegance and light. Unlike the upright 'Golden Ray', 'Yellow Wave' has a more cascading, fountain-like habit. It is perfect for adding a splash of cheerful color to mixed borders, near water features, or in containers.
